Maximized Window Borders

One thing I find annoying about KDE is that when a window is maximized, the window borders are still visible allowing the window to be too easily unmaximized. Is there any way I can turn this off?

Hello,

Try this: right click on the window border or press alt+f3, then advanced -> no border. Does that do what you want?

That's close but then the title bar goes away too.

How about removing those maximized and minimized buttons completely and assigning a shortcut key for those actions? That way it wouldn't be so obvious to find out how to unmaximize window.
Optins for that can be found at control center under the window decoration menu, buttons tab, choose "Use custom titlebar button positions" and drag the unwanted button off the the titlebar.

'cmon ppl. there is simply the option "allow moving and resizing of maximized windows" in "window behaviour" (right-click windecoration) under "moving".

too easy.
